Are you spamming references to your publications into WP articles?
Since I've done most of the recent non-bot editing of the Backup article, I noticed your 23 February 2019 addition to the "Performance Impact" paragraph of the "Limitations" subsection. To be frank, I don't understand the relevance of that added reference to the text of the subsection—but then I only have a non-PhD-track Master in Computer Science degree. I see that your contributions on 23 February to other WP articles also consist of references to academic papers of which someone with the name Riad Mokadem is a co-author.

Are you just spamming references to those articles into WP articles to promote your career? , please explain the relevance of your added reference in a new section of the Talk page for the Backup article. If you don't, I'm going to revert your edits to that article. Thanking you in advance. DovidBenAvraham (talk) 03:31, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Your "Disk Backup Through Algebraic Signatures in Scalable Distributed Data Structures" article says in the Abstract that it is about backing up the RAM on each storage node onto the local disk. However the Backup article's lead is fairly clear—although I probably should make it clearer—that it is about backing up data already on disk into an archive file. That is why I don't think your article is relevant. DovidBenAvraham (talk) 11:13, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

I've just added this section to the Talk page for the "Backup" article, with an initial comment adapted from my comments above. I've also made it clear in the first sentence of the article's lead that it is about backing up data already on disk into an archive file. DovidBenAvraham (talk) 07:40, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

I have redone the URLs in the references you inserted into Signature (logic) and String-searching algorithm so that they work. Whether those references are appropriate to the WP articles where you inserted them is dependent on your conscience, and on the judgement of other WP editors more familiar with their subjects.

I moved your ref in the Backup article to the Clustered file system article, which is where it seems to be applicable. DovidBenAvraham (talk) 05:22, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
